Why Data Teams Are a Tax on the Business | CDO Matters Ep. 106 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every data team wants to be seen as a value driver instead of a cost center — but most still run like a service desk, taking orders instead of solving problems. Malcolm Hawker sits down with product consultant Nick Zervoudis to unpack the real difference between a product owner and a product manager, why "data democratization" isn't automatically good, and how a Qlik-funded study quietly invented the modern data literacy movement.

Jonathan Reeve, Chief Product Officer at BetaNext, thinks that's the wrong starting point and the fix isn't more governance, it's product management. Malcolm Hawker sits down with Reeve to work through what it actually means to treat data as a product, why scalability without demand is a bridge to nowhere, and what CDOs can steal from the CPO playbook to become more relevant inside their organizations.
